Definition : Personnal identification

Document used to prove a person's identity. It can be issued by a government. Various documents are recognized as identification. This is the case, in particular, for the following documents:

• Passport;
• Driver's licence or probationary licence issued in plastic form by the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec;
• Health insurance card issued by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec;

• Immigration document issued by the Government of Canada;
• Official identification for military, police or diplomats stationed in Canada;
• Secure Certificate of Indian Status;
• Quebec birth certificate;
• Identification issued by a Canadian province or territory that includes a date of birth.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW!​  A syndicate of co-ownership must provide a copy of ia personnal identification  for all members of their board of directors and declare their date of birth. This obligation also applies to any newly elected or appointed director. The identification document provided is kept by the Registraire des entreprises du Québec until the date of registration of the taxable person or the date of update in the register. It is then destroyed.

WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND : A director's date of birth will not be displayed in public view at the Registre des entreprises du Québec (Quebec Entreprise Register), while all other information will be.

WARNING ! It is an offence for a syndicate of co-owners to fail to comply with its obligations to provide the director's identification. They are subject to a fine of up to $10,000 depending on the case.
